I have added some excellent quality cards printed by Greeting card Universe to my Etsy store.

The print and tonal quality is outstanding.

The photograph color isn't the best though, the cards are much better in person.

Urban JungleIt is finally completed and is based on a photograph I took of Mia. Mia is our Tabby cat we brought home from the local shelter. She makes a great model. Urban Jungle is painted using Ink and watercolor pencil wash on my favorite Hot press Fabriano Artistico Bright White Watercolor paper. My paintings take a long time to complete because of the level of detail and painted in my studio on my NW Oregon Farm.

Is lightly snowing this morning, so I decided it was a good time to work on my painting. Normally I get more of the under color done before I work on the Ink but I was impatient, so spent quite awhile working with it.

After I was done with that, I applied the first layer of color to the underside front of the Aircraft.

This photo looks kind'a funny because I took the picture upside down. But you can see I have added little more shading to the underside of the Navy Phantoms nose, on the canopy and intake.

After the last little set back a few months ago, I decided to pencil in another Navy Phantom and start painting. This will be another Watercolor pencil with Ink, like many of my paintings are.

Still not sure about the other side of the fighter, as there were people in the way when I took photos of it. So hopefully someone can help me out with that little issue. But until then, will paint what I do know of the plane.

This piece will be added to my collection of what I call. "In your Face" Military aircraft. Just a slightly different angle and view than you would normally see in Aircraft paintings.

Here you can see my basic pencil work, to make sure I keep things in prospective and the first layer of under color.
